Listeners will be captivated by this moving tale of good versus evil through the life of winsome young sailor Billy Budd. Aboard a 1700s British warship, virtuous Billy is unfairly accused of treason by the villainous Master of Armsa cold-blooded superior officer intent on Billy's destruction. Adapted from Herman Melville's famous novel and presented by Focus on the Family's Peabody Awardwinning Radio Theatre team, Billy Budd will remind listeners of another man, perfectly just, who suffered and died a criminal's death.

Mature theme and sad ending but nevertheless a GREAT story! Definitely sparked some conversations with our 12 year old! Very thought provoking! Don't let a child listen to this alone. This needs to have parental involvement and discussion. - Focus on the Family always does a superb job in their audios

I really enjoy listening to Focus on the Family Radio Theatre productions. This adaptation of Herman Melville's "Billy Budd, Sailor" is one of the most moving and powerful stories I have ever heard. It will deepen your faith and really cause you to think about good and evil. I highly recommend this. Some of the scenes are quite intense so I would place a caution for young listeners that their parents listen first.
